The Prolecto Freight Container tracks and manages the logistics for inventory purchases from manufacture to final destination warehouses. The application allows for flexible logistics models, including approaches that allow for contract-based purchase order manufacturing. Conceived before NetSuite created the Inbound Shipment Record, the Prolecto Freight Container system offers more flexible models leveraging native transfer orders to represent in-transit flows.

Clients who have tried to work with the NetSuite freight container will notice its rigidity in out-of-balance situations. Working with transfer records produces natural in-transit flows. Multiple receiving records offer more flexibility to burden inventory with logistics costs. The tool is offered without transaction or recurring license charges.
